News & Record blows it big time on McCrory and medicaid

(GREENSBORO, NC) It's no small thing—North Carolina gubernatorial candidates' positions on expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. Today, News & Record writer Travis Fain, reported this referring to candidates Pat McCrory and Walter Dalton:

Neither man has staked out a position on Medicaid expansions that are part of the Obama administration’s complex health-care overhaul. 

I thought I remembered McCrory saying recently that he would reject the expansion. 

Yes, he had.

American's for Tax reform in Pat McCrory Hits The Right Note On Obamacare's Mandated Medicaid Expansion reported on July 17:

Last Wednesday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory stated that if elected, he will join with his Republican counterparts in governor’s mansions across the country who have indicated that they will not go along with the fiscally reckless Medicaid expansion mandated by Obamacare. McCrory’s statement allies him with prominent conservative governors such as Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Nikki Haley of South Carolina and others.

An AP article that ran on the N&R's website nine days ago reported:

[T]he former Charlotte mayor also said that, if elected, he would work with other governors and the next president to repeal the Affordable Care Act and replace it with "a more flexible system for each state."
